scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 149
The winter days are short, and after tossing around in the Yin'an Palace for a while, the sky is getting dark, and seeing that the people who should be there have already arrived, Wu Sangui is already in a good mood, so he simply asks someone to set up a banquet in the Anfu Garden on the west side of the Pingxi Palace. Treat some of the most important confidant lackeys, and carefully discuss with them the countermeasures to deal with the aggressive policies of the Qing court.

TOEFL's pen that left hatred in later generations, let us remember all the participants of this banquet. Of course, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, the big thief, was at the top of the list. Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen, Wang Shirong, and Lu Yifeng, Fatty Lu, who was hailed as the number one scourge of the Qing Dynasty with his eyes spitting fire and teeth bleeding from the hatred of mite survivors.In addition, to everyone's surprise, Wu Yingqi, Wu Sangui's famous idiot son, was among them. Wu Sangui originally didn't intend to let him participate in this meeting, but he insisted on coming. He's just making up for it.

A dazzling array of sumptuous food and drinks were served, all the servants were driven away, and the most loyal and reliable guards were arranged to guard the doors, windows, and corridors of the room. Finally, Wu Sangui, the old traitor Wu, invited everyone to sit down—of course, it belongs to the Pingxi Palace to be precise. Fatty Lu, from the second generation to the third generation, naturally sat at the last table, and also shouldered the task of pouring wine for all the seniors.

There was indeed a dish of loach and tofu at the banquet, and it was directly placed in front of old traitor Wu. After drinking for three rounds, looking at this famous dish that Fatty Lu used to warn and remind himself, old traitor Wu was filled with emotion. I couldn't help but tapped the soup bowl containing this dish with chopsticks, and sighed: "It's destined to be so, this king has been hiding and running away all these years, but he is in the cauldron, hiding and running, no matter how much he makes If you don’t make any concessions, you still cannot avoid the bad luck of being surrounded by raging fire and boiling soup, and you will inevitably be treated as a dish on the plate and a meal in your mouth.”

"Father-in-law, we still have one last chance." Hu Guozhu gritted his teeth and said word by word: "As long as you jump out of this cauldron, or simply smash this cauldron, father-in-law will be like a dragon with golden scales, three mountains and five mountains, and five lakes and four seas." , You are allowed to travel between heaven and earth."

"What General Jinwu said is absolutely true." Liu Xuanchu took over the conversation, and said firmly: "As long as the prince is determined to smash this cauldron, no one in the world can restrain the prince! You have three good explosives, and the tartars are full of dogs!" Do you have rockets that can blow thousands of troops into powder, my lord? Do you have an airship that can soar into the sky and spread its wings? Do you have a man of dogs? Your lord, you have the soldiers of Pingxi Palace , Ruyun fierce general, Xiaoyu counselor, are there any Tartars full of dogs? Your lord, you have such a powerful strength, why do you want to live under others and be bullied by others?"

"My lord, go against it!" Fang Guangchen was even more direct, shouting: "Overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, expelled the Tartars, you are my Chinese hero, the Han hero, the new generation of Tang Zong and Song Zu!"

"Father, we bought Yunnan and Guizhou with our blood and our lives!" Wu Yingqi also roared, "Tartars and dogs dare to cut off our Pingxi Palace's wealth today, and tomorrow they dare to take our vassal land, instead of sitting and waiting If you die, it’s better to take a fight, take the whole world into our Wu family’s hands, and kill all those wolf-hearted, heartless and ruthless dogs!”

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the traitorous old man Wu looked calm, and he said slowly after a long time: "For 26 years, this king has lived and died for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, fought south and north, made countless outstanding military exploits, and even strangled Nanming Yongli with his own hands. To prove loyalty. Originally, I wanted to seek glory for a lifetime, to be a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to town Yungui for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and to achieve a good story with the Lord. However, what this king did not expect was that in the end, the king paid Geng Geng's loyalty, but in exchange for the Manchu court's pressing every step of the way, every time I make a step, they will take a step further, until they push me to the edge of the cliff..."

Speaking of this, the old traitor Wu suddenly raised his voice, slapped the table and shouted: "This time, this king will never back down! He is not threatening this king, if he does not follow him, he will kill him!" Is the Pingxi Palace completely eradicated? Let him come, Gu will not believe it, Gu now has so many advanced firearms in his hand, and there are so many loyal ministers and generals, how can he not beat him?!"

"My lord, my lord! My lord, my lord! My lord, my lord! My lord, my lord, my lord! My lord, my lord, my lord! My lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord! My lord, my lord, my lord! My lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord, my lord's death!"

"Everyone, please rise up." The old man Wu was so high-spirited once in a while, he waved his hands and said, "Get up, all of you, repay me with the soldiers of the country, and this king will naturally reward you with the soldiers of the country. day!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Hu Guozhu, Fatty Lu and the others agreed neatly and got up together.Wu Sangui greeted again: "Sit down, tell me, what should I do next?"

"Father-in-law, please bring back the eldest son and the prince's two grandsons as soon as possible." Hu Guozhu was the first to rush to say: "Only when they return to Yunnan, father-in-law, can you get rid of your worries and act with peace of mind."

"That's right." Wu Sangui's son was struggling, and he only had two sons. Naturally, he missed his eldest son, Wu Yingxiong, and immediately nodded and said, "Send Lu Xia to lead people to handle this matter. We must bring my son and grandson back. It’s just that Yunnan is nearly ten thousand miles away from the capital city, and it’s all controlled by Mangou along the way, so I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”

"My lord, you can ask Zheng Jing of Taiwan for help." Fatty Lu suggested impatiently: "Send someone to contact Zheng Jing of Taiwan, and while contacting them to raise troops together, ask them for help to take the eldest son and the two grandsons back to Yunnan by sea. That way you have more confidence.”

"It's a good idea." The old man Wu said thoughtfully, "However, Taiwan and Yunnan are also thousands of miles away, and we have to go back and forth for thousands of miles. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the time. Why don't we hire sea ships directly, so that many accidents can be avoided."

"Old Taishan is very considerate." Hu Guozhu also said: "Taiwan Zheng Jing is always an outsider. If he has a different intention and takes the eldest son and two grandsons to Taiwan as hostages, then our troubles will be even greater, so This matter can only be handled by our people from Pingxi Palace, and no one else can be relied on."

The old traitor Wu was very satisfied when he heard it, and immediately confessed to handing over the matter to Hu Guozhu, while Fatty Lu said pitifully: "It's always right to get in touch with Taiwan's Zheng Jing, right? The Taiwan army has the most anti-Qing and anti-Manchu stance." A firm force, such a powerful force, the lord can't give up in vain, right? With the lord's permission, the humble job secretly recruited a few congregations from the Heaven and Earth Congregation. If the lord wants to get in touch with Taiwan and has no channels, they can send them all. use."

"Hehehehe..." Hu Guozhu, Liu Xuanchu and others all laughed.Fatty Lu laughed so hard that he couldn't understand it, and asked tremblingly, "Master, General Jinwu, did I say something wrong?"

"Yifeng, you don't need to worry about this matter." Liu Xuanchu said with a smile: "There is no need to hide it from you now. As early as February last year, Zheng Jing had already sent Wu Hongji, a Taiwan disciplinary officer, to negotiate with our prince. On behalf of Zheng Jing, he assured the prince that as long as the prince raises troops, all Taiwanese troops will obey the command of the prince and serve as the master! Although the prince did not agree at the time, he also established a direct communication channel with Zheng Jing."

(Historical facts: It is contained in the second volume of "Hai Ji Ji Yao", No. 30, page [-]. The time when Zheng Jing's envoy secretly asked Wu Sangui to see Wu Sangui was in February of the ninth year of Kang Mazi. Moreover, Zheng Jing did keep his promise, and raised troops to assist Wu Sangui in rebelling against the Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that because Shang Kexi, an old traitor, sticks to Guangdong, and Geng Jingzhong rebels, Wu Sangui's army and Zheng Jing's army, who have the most steadfast anti-Qing stance, did not join forces.)
"What else?" Fatty Lu was surprised and delighted, and said, "So, after we raise our troops, we will have the most steadfast ally right away?"

"Of course, Zheng Jing is still reliable in this respect." Liu Xuanchu nodded, then turned to the old traitor Wu and said, "The prince is not only Zheng Jing, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong must also try their best to win over—I don't know if the prince noticed it or not. The fact that Emperor Mangou ordered us to pay tribute to the Eight Banners medicine seeds was reported by the income mansion to the world. This is obviously an attempt by Emperor Mangou to alienate the relationship between the prince, monk Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong, and to use them to make huge profits from the Eight Banners medicine. If we can't deal with this trick well, we might be completely isolated by Mangou."

"If we want to crack this trick, we can only make a fuss about the slogan of raising troops." Fang Guangchen said darkly: "Man Gou uses Eight Banners Fushou Gao to make a fuss, under the banner of taking back the exclusive planting rights of Baqi Fushou Gao. If we follow them If we go the way we arranged and play the banner of protecting the exclusive planting rights of the Eight Banners medicine, then we will be isolated by the world and become the target of public criticism. Therefore, our banner of raising troops must be open and aboveboard, and win the support of people all over the world."

"Actually, it's not bad to play the banner of protecting the exclusive planting rights of Eight Banners Fushou Gao. At the very least, the people and chieftains of all Yunnan and Guizhou will firmly support us."

"Second prince, this matter is not a joke." Hu Guozhu said quickly: "With such a banner, although we will definitely win the support of all Yunnan and Guizhou, we will soon become the common enemy of the whole world."

"I was just joking." Wu Yingqi scratched his head and said, "Of course I also know that this method won't work, not to mention being full of dogs, even Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong are jealous of our Eight Banners drug ointment, really playing such a banner , they still have to tear us apart?"

"Actually, I think the second prince's move is feasible!" Fatty Lu said in an astonishing manner, "I think the prince can take two steps. First, he will use the banner on the side of the Qing emperor, and ask Oboi to covet the Eight Banners of Yunnan and Guizhou. Emperor Mangou eradicated Oboi, first united the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, and then after he dealt with Oboi, he played the banner of "anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty" or "prospering Han and destroying Manchu" to unite the people of the world and completely overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Kill all the dogs!"

"Is this necessary?" Liu Xuanchu asked the students suspiciously: "Fight the banner on the side of the Qing emperor first, and then use the banner of 'anti-Qing and Fuming' or 'rejuvenate the Han and destroy the Manchus', and directly fight 'anti-Qing and Fuming' or' What is the difference between the banner of "Xing Han Mie Man"? Isn't it like taking off your pants and farting?"

"Forgive me, teacher. The students feel that there is a big difference." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice: "Directly playing the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty or prospering the Han and destroying the Manchus can unite the people of the world, but the Manchus will definitely regard us as their biggest opponents. For the time being Abandoning internal contradictions and uniting to kill us, fighting against the outside world first and then peace inside will bring us the most powerful pressure. And if we first play the banner of the Qing emperor's side, it can have the effect of alienating the inside of Mangou, and at the same time show the enemy's weakness, so that Manchu The dogs thought we had been tricked by them and treated us lightly, which would help us to defeat them one by one."

"You mean to use Obai and Emperor Mazi?" Fang Guangchen came to his senses and said, "There are irreconcilable conflicts between Mangou and Emperor Mazi. Now they are pointing the finger at us in order to divert the conflict and unite temporarily. Internally. And after we played the banner of the Qing Dynasty and pointed the finger at Oboi alone, we highlighted the internal contradictions of Mangou again, which made Emperor Mazi feel lucky, thinking that as long as we clean up Oboi, we can keep the exclusive cultivation of Eight Banners. If there is no power, it is possible to stop the rebellion and stop the rebellion, and treat us lightly."

"Mr. Yan Xian's words are very true, basically this is the truth." Fatty Lu nodded, and then said: "However, it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Yi Mazi to treat us completely lightly because of his cunning and cunning. The biggest advantage is the benefits we gained after we eliminated Oboi, as well as the image we established, and taking advantage of the opportunity that Emperor Mazi took the opportunity to launch a purge after Oboi's defeat, and then suddenly killed all the dogs by surprise."

"Be more detailed, the more detailed the better." Old Man Wu ordered calmly.

"Of order, then I will make a fool of myself." Fatty Lu cleared his throat, and showed off in front of Laoqiu Ba Wu Sangui without blushing: "First, I think that for the Manchu court, since it plans to attack our Pingxi Palace If we do something, we must plan to kill our Pingxi Palace in Yunnan and Guizhou, so as to avoid the expansion of the war, which is in their best interest. And we played the banner of the Qing emperor to show the enemy that we are in vain, and we are in the arms of Man Gou. Bai must mobilize countless manpower and material resources to go south, and personally lead the troops to fight us in Yunnan-Guizhou."

"My lord, you are an old military officer. You must also know how beneficial it is to us to fight a decisive battle in Yunnan and Guizhou, where we occupy a favorable location and people. And after Obai was eliminated by us, the military equipment, money and food he mobilized from all over the country were not enough. So it all fell into the hands of the prince?"

"Also, since Oboi personally led the army to the south, his troops must be the most elite army of the Manchus. We took advantage of the favorable terrain and the underestimation of our strength by the Manchus to wipe out the elite troops of the Manchus led by him. , then the prince will lead the Northern Expedition, won't it be much easier?"

"I can't see that you have two talents in this area, and you are a general." Old man Wu smiled treacherously, his triangular eyes suddenly shot out, and said with a sneer: "But you still said that you missed a little bit. There is another magical effect of this banner. Dividing the enemy's mind will help us recruit the enemy when we gain an advantage, and make the enemy think that as long as we eliminate the enemy, we will not kill them. If we are lucky, we will naturally not fight us desperately."

"Inducing Oboi to fight us in Yunnan-Guizhou?" Hu Guozhu pondered for a moment, then immediately said: "I agree, it is good for Yifeng to build weapons for us, but the pressure on logistics is too great, and the shortage of people happens to be our Yunnan-Guizhou The biggest weakness is the decisive battle with the main force of Mangou in Yunnan and Guizhou, which can not only take advantage of the familiar terrain, but also reduce the logistical pressure and lay the foundation for the next step."

"I also agree." Wang Shirong, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and voted for Fatty Lu, "In the decisive battle in Yunnan and Guizhou, the captured Han soldiers can be used to make up for our weakness of insufficient manpower."

"Yifeng, you only said number one, what about number two and number three?" Fang Guangchen asked calmly.

"The second is that after suddenly exerting force to eliminate the main force of Oboi, the Yunnan-Guizhou army can be seen as invincible." Fatty Lu explained carefully: "The 20 full-fledged cavalry sweeping the world have already established an irresistible image. Although the prince's army They are not inferior to them, but they are always inferior in impression. At the same time, Oboi, a veteran who is capable of fighting, is in charge. We have been weakened over the years, and the public establishment of the army is even less than [-]. I feel that there is a huge disparity between strength and weakness, and there is almost no suspense for Man Gou to win."

"Under such circumstances, if we directly play the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty or prospering the Han Dynasty and destroying the Manchus, at most the Taiwan Zheng Jinghui, which is firmly anti-Qing, will raise troops to support it. Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and the governors of the provinces will at least maintain a wait-and-see attitude. Maybe for our own benefit and to fight for the fruits of victory, it would be of little use to raise troops to help Mangou deal with us instead. After playing the banner of the Qing emperor to lure Oboi into the decisive battle in Yunnan and Guizhou, we only need to use various advantages to wipe out the elite of Mangou, then The myth of Manchu being invincible has been broken, and the image of the prince as invincible has been established, and if the prince once again plays the banner of uniting the people of the world against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, or to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and destroy the Manchus, isn’t it just that there are a lot of followers and a group of people responding?”

"Thirdly, the lower officials can conclude that with the shameless character of Emperor Gou Mazi, during Obai's southern expedition, he will inevitably stir up troubles in the capital and fight for power and profit. When the news of Obai's defeat comes back to the capital, Emperor Mazi will definitely From a secret activity to an open one, at that time, in order to stabilize the prince, he will definitely throw Obai as a scapegoat and sacrifice Obai to vent his anger on the prince and the Yungui army. No matter what conditions you propose, the prince, he will definitely agree. And the prince While you blackmailed him to increase your strength, you secretly prepared for a full-scale Northern Expedition, and when the time was right, you suddenly launched the banner of anti-Qing, Fuming and Xinghan to destroy Manchu, and you caught Emperor Mazi by surprise and completely gained the upper hand."

After talking endlessly here, Fatty Lu took a sip of water, and said: "My lord, there is another advantage to doing this, that is, in case of failure to welcome the son back to Yunnan, as long as the son saves his life, after obai is eliminated, The lord can take this opportunity to put forward conditions for Emperor Mangou to release his son and two grandsons."

The old traitor Wu remained calm, and after twirling the wine glass for a long time to consider, the old traitor Wu turned to his confidant lackeys who were also silently planning and asked: "Yifeng proposes to proceed in two steps. The first step is to show the enemy in vain. What do you think of the main force being lured into the decisive battle in Yunnan and Guizhou, and then a full-scale counterattack in the second step?"

"Unexpectedly, Yifeng is not only proficient in Western learning, but also has such high attainments in military affairs." Hu Guozhu was the first to say: "In this way, we can avoid many weaknesses and maximize all advantages. I agree with this."

"I also agree." Fang Guangchen nodded. Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong also nodded in agreement after deliberating for a long time. Wang Shirong, who was more familiar with military affairs than Liu Xuanchu, added: "The best place for the decisive battle should be in Anshun, Guizhou. The terrain in that area is open. It is conducive to the battle of the large army, surrounded by mountains and forests, and it is also conducive to annihilating the enemy, and at the same time it can prevent the war from affecting our most important Yunnan."

"I also think the decisive battle in Anshun is the best." Fatty Lu voted for himself brazenly, and said, "In the decisive battle in Anshun, the most ideal place for Mangou to store grain and soldiers is Guiyang. At the same time, Pingyue and Zhenyuan are also ideal places to store grain. , there are many dogs serving as our transportation team, sending countless grain and military supplies to Guizhou, so that we can withdraw them on the spot, why not do it?"

"Then let's fight in Anshun!" Wu Yingqi yelled, "The terrain in that area is open, our airship can fly as much as we want, and blow up those wild boars and dogs! Father, what do you think?"

"Since you all have no objections, let's fight in Anshun." Wu Sangui said lightly: "Tomorrow, an order will be issued. From next year, all prefectures in Guizhou will choose places to plant Eight Banners Fushou Gao, and win the hearts of the people of Guizhou first."

"Wonderful!" Hu Guozhu's eyes lit up, and he flattered him: "It's still the old Taishan chess game. The prefectures in Guizhou choose places to plant the Eight Banners Fushou Gao. They didn't say how much they planted, and they didn't know where they were planted. The soldiers and civilians in Guizhou see With this hope, why don’t you scramble to help us kill Man Gou?”

"Since the prince has decided to take two steps, how about we take this opportunity to discuss the second step as well?" Fang Guangchen said: "Whether the second step is to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, or to fight the Han Dynasty to destroy Manchu , we all have to prepare first, so that when the time comes to suddenly play this banner, the effect will be better."

"That's right." Old Man Wu nodded and ordered: "You all discuss it, what banner should we use in the second step?"

"Anti-Qing and Fuming." Liu Xuanchu was the first to say: "With this banner, we can get the full support of Taiwan's army. I dare to say that no matter whether Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong will follow us to raise troops, they are our most reliable and staunch allies. , it will only be the Taiwan army! Playing this banner can further gain their support.”

"The banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty is good or bad, but the matter of Biaozipo (Bizipo is the place where the old traitor Wu killed Yongli)..." Hu Guozhu hesitated, and said: "So, it is better to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and destroy the Manchus. "

"No." Fang Guangchen objected: "There are many survivors of the former Ming Dynasty among the people. They can accept the prince's anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, but they may not accept the prince's prospering Han and destroying Manchus and directly becoming emperor, so it is best to use the banner of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty to buy people's hearts. After the final decision, it will not be too late for the prince to gradually ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. After all, our Great Ming Taizu first enshrined Han Lin'er as emperor, and finally proclaimed himself emperor."

"But how do you explain to the people of the world that the prince strangled Emperor Yongli?" Wang Shirong said bluntly: "I think it is better to directly rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and destroy the Manchus. In the face of absolute strength, we don't need the support of those old and young .”

"Nonsense! Without the support of all the people in the world, how can the prince be stable?" Liu Xuanchu habitually raised the bar with Wang Shirong.

"What about Biaozipo? How will the prince explain to the world?" Wang Shirong retorted.

"Okay, stop arguing." The old traitor Wu interrupted angrily—killing Yongli in Grain Slope was the most painful scar on the old traitor Wu's heart.After drinking a few lackeys who were arguing endlessly, the old traitor Wu turned his attention to the silent Fatty Lu and Wu Yingqi. Wu Yingqi also said that his father was asking what he meant, and quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "Father, don't ask me. You know, I'm the worst at this, you can tell me to cut people with a knife, but if you ask me these things, won't you kill me?"

"You're a bit self-aware, kid." Old Man Wu snorted coldly, then turned to Fatty Lu and asked, "Yifeng, you have many ideas and unique insights, what do you think?"

"My lord, I don't know if you have heard of Emperor Fuso?" Fatty Lu still liked to answer in a wrong way, and said slowly: "Emperor Fuso has no power, but has always occupied the throne, and the power is in the hands of the ministers. The ministers only respect him and don't obey his orders, they only use him when offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors."

"You mean, this king follows Fusang's example and establishes an emperor, but does not give him power?" Old Traitor Wu asked thoughtfully.

"My lord, until now, how long do you want to hide from the second prince?" Fatty Lu asked even more outrageously, "Now, should you tell the second prince his real life experience?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Old man Wu became a little angry.

Fatty Lu was not in a hurry, he just got up from the table and walked in front of Wu Yingqi, and suddenly knelt down to Wu Yingqi, put his forehead on the ground, and said respectfully: "Second prince, even now, I dare not hide from you in a lowly position. In fact, you are not the prince's My own son."

"What?" Wu Yingqi jumped up, grabbed Fatty Lu by the collar, and yelled, "Fatty man, what are you talking about? I'm not the son of my father, so whose son am I?"

"Second prince, your surname is actually not Wu, but Zhu." Fatty Lu said with a sob, "Your real name is Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty. When the rebel Li Zicheng broke through Beijing 26 years ago, The first emperor Chongzhen entrusted you secretly to the prince’s father, Wu Xiang, the old general Wu, but unfortunately leaked the news, and was discovered by the rebel Li Zicheng, who forced the old general Wu to hand you over. The second son—that is, the real second prince Wu Yingqi was handed over to Li Zicheng's traitor in exchange for Li Zicheng's trust and to save your life, but the real second son of the prince was unfortunately killed by..."

"Afterwards, Old General Wu sent you, together with your identity certificate, to Shanhaiguan and entrusted him to the prince. In order to help you reset, the prince borrowed troops from Mangou to enter the pass, and drove away the traitor Li Zicheng. I want Man Gou to perfidiously take the opportunity to occupy the Huahua River and Mountains of our Ming Dynasty. At the same time, traitors such as Hongguang, Longwu and Yongli proclaimed themselves emperors and stole Chinese artifacts. The treacherous Man Gou released rumors, saying that the prince was a traitor and attracted Man Gou In addition to being greedy for life and fear of death, entering the customs is mainly because Li Zicheng robbed the prince's concubine and pushed the prince to the opposite of the Han people in the world..."

"On the one hand, there is the murderous Man Gou, on the other hand, the curse of the Han people all over the world, and on the other hand, the hatred and hostility of the rebels in Nanming. The prince bears the burden of the late emperor, and he did not rashly fight against Man Gouyu. Instead, he chose Bearing the burden of humiliation, in order to protect the last bloodline of the Ming Dynasty, the prince silently bears the infamy of traitors called Man Gou to attack the city and plunder the land. With the help of Man Gou, he wiped out Yongli, Longwu and other rebels who usurped the throne. Secretly preserved Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, brought up you, the real Third Prince Zhu, with painstaking efforts, and secretly recruited troops to accumulate strength, waiting for the day when the Daming Dragon Banner will be raised again and the Han family will be restored..."

At this point, Fatty Lu was already sobbing, and Wu Yingqi became more and more dumbfounded the more he heard it, and finally couldn't help but turned around and asked the same dumbfounded old traitor Wu: "Father, is what Yifeng said true? Is it really the third prince Zhu who was brought back from Li Zicheng by his grandfather?"

It wasn't until Wu Yingqi asked the second time that the old traitor Wu woke up from the shock, and when he looked back at Hu Guozhu, Liu Xuanchu and other lackeys, he saw that they were either thinking hard, or already showing ecstasy.Seeing the old traitor Wu's gaze turned to him, Hu Guozhu, who had already come to his senses, swallowed and said hesitantly, "Father-in-law, Zhu Shugui, the Prince of Ningjing in Taiwan, is only in charge of the country and has not claimed the title of emperor. In name, there is no conflict with us." , this plan can be considered.”

"Father, why don't you speak? Am I the third prince Zhu?" Wu Yingqi asked anxiously for the third time.

"Aren't you, let me think about it." The old traitor Wu said hesitantly, "This matter is too big, I have to think carefully before making a decision."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Wu Yingqi yelled aggrievedly, "Whether I am your own son or not, you still have to think about it before deciding?"

"Do you think the Third Prince Zhu doesn't matter? Anyway, I gave you this good idea. If you don't use it, it will be your loss." Fatty Lu muttered in his heart: "It doesn't matter if you don't use it. The big deal is that when I have the strength to be independent In the future, I will make your son the third prince of Zhu with my own hands, so that my notoriety of relying on traitors will also become a good name."
